Testimonials
-
Justin WebbAAT Level 1 Access Award in Bookkeeping"I've been thinking of changing career for some while. I decided on the AAT courses, and felt that starting from the very beginning was the right thing to do, so enrolled on the level 1 Bookkeeping course. The online tutorials fully support the course text, and guide you through the topics as well as a very detailed revision and practice for the final exam. McArthur Online made learning a new subject enjoyable, with the added bonus of passing first time! Next stop Foundation Certificate in Accounting, then hopefully levels 3 and 4!"
